has been fired, and a new cartridge is fed Yfrom the magazine intoposition ready tobe placed into the chamber when the bolt 1 is movedforward. Y

To close the action, the hand engaging the grip of the rifle is closedthereby forcing the finger lever 14 upwardly and through the link 13 thelocking lever 4 is returned to normal position and slides upon theVincline 23 and engages the abutmenty 22, thereby pushing the bolt 1`forwardly and compressing the spring 19 and pushing the cartridge intothe chamber. As the bolt 1 is moved forwardly, the cooking piece 25engagesthe trigger sear 26 and is held back thereby. When the bolt 1 hasreached its-forward position, the locking lever 4 clears the upper endof the incline 23and rises, thereby forcing the locking bolt 7 upward,and through the action of the cams or inclines 8 acting on the lugs 21of the collar 20, forces said Collar further ahead, thereby compressingthe spring 19. When the locking lever 4 has reached the limit of itsupward move-f ment, the catch 17 engagesthe stop 18 of the linger leverand the action is fully locked and ready to be fired.

When the locking lever 4 reaches its lowest position, a projection 27 onthe link 13 bears against the rear end of the finger lever catch 17Fig.Jb-forcing it downward and causing the opposite end of the catch toengage the trigger 16 which is thrown forward until the catch 17 clearsthe stop 28 which it engages, thereby holding the trigger 16 andallowing the sear 26 to rise vhigh enough to hold back the cooking piece25 when the bolt 1 goes ahead.` The linger lever catch spring 29 tendsto hold the catch 17 in posi- Y tion until the last motion of the fingerlever 14 closing releases it. The stop shoulder`28 prevents the trigger16 fromV being accidentally pulled before the actionis fully closed.When the collar 20 comes' to the Vrear lower part takes against aprojection 30 on cooking piece 25 forcing the firing pin 31 to the rearassisted `by theVVV projection 3 `on theforwardend ofthe locking lever 4:bearing fagainst the.' firing pin cap 32, :thereby .preventing the`firing pin from `touching the catridge until-the action is Itisobservedfthat an-yftype of boxl maga zine may be used, also any typeof extractor, that illustrated forming no part of the invention. lVhenaction is open spring 19 doesnot fill space allotted to it. This enablesthe first closing movement to be easily effected. As bolt 1 goes forwardthe locking lever will become more nearly horizontal whichY givesAgreater leverage to overcome tension of the springs.

To remove bolt to yclean the Vbarrel first open the action; thenwith theleft hand push the bolt forward until link 13 and lock'- ing lever risehigh enough to allow rear end of catch 17 to rise by bearing on theforward end of same with the first finger of the right hand. Then withthe thumb of the right hand force link 13 toward trigger guard 15a,(squeezing catch and link together) at the same time pulling bolt to therearwith the left hand by the cooking piece 25. Rear end of lockinglever 4 will then come down through slot through which link 13 worksallowing forward pivoted end of lever 4 to drop down in rests 33provided. 'Bolt now slips out of receiver. To 'replace bolt reverseoperations. This is simple and quickin operation.

What is claimed is:

1. In a bolt action for a repeating rifie Vand in combination with thebreech bolt, a locking bolt provided with a cam, and a collar or likemember movable with the breech bolt and adapted to ride upon 'the saidcam and move the locking bolt outV` of the path of the breech bolt.

2.In a bolt action for a repeating rifie and in combination with thebreech bolt, a locking bolt, a member movable with the breech bolt andadapted to coact with the locking boltto move the same out of the pathof the breech bolt, and a'locking member in cooperativerrelation withthe locking bolt.

3. In -a bolt action for a repeating rifle and in combination with thebreech bolt, a locking lever having both a pivotal and a slidingconnection with the receiver containing the'bre'ech bolt, a locking boltadapted to be moved into operative position by means of the lockinglever, and a member carried by the breech bolt and adapted to coact withthe locking bolt.

4. In a bolt action for a repeating rifle, the combination ofthe breechbolt, a locking bolt provided with 'a cam, a member movable vwith thebreech bolt and adapted to move the locking bolt intoA inoperativeposition, a locking lever" having pivotal and sliding connection withthe receiver con-l taining the breech bolt and adapted to enyand' ajsearin cooperative relation with'the` Y cooking member and trigger. :a ,5.YAInra boltaction 'fori a repeating rie,
